As usual, I really need to be more consistent about updating this blog. However, unlike my blogging, I've been fairly consistent with my training. I'm usually missing 1-2 workouts a week but it isn't like I'm going pro or anything like that. I've stuck to my running pretty well, been decent with swimming, and I've only biked maybe 1-2 times a week. For June, I'm ramping up my biking and slacking on swimming since swimming seems to be my strongest leg right now. Go figure. Oh, side note, I had a really good swim practice last week where we did a a set with a bunch of stuff and then 12x25 at the end and then did that two times through. The first 12x25 was OK but on the second 12x25, something really clicked. I felt different swimming and it felt much more efficient. Instead of spinning my arms like Wile E. Coyote, I was taking slower strokes that seemed longer, more powerful, and more efficient. Because of this, I was actually about 2 seconds faster per 25 than the 1st round of 12x25. So, although I was more tired, I was faster. I want to remember that feeling because it was a good feeling and gives me something to work towards regarding my swimming.
Running sucks right now because it is hot and humid. Best time of the day to run is right before sunset. My weight goal for the end of May was 185 since I started the month at 188. I weighed myself at 184 on June 4th which is close enough. My goal for the end of June is 181 so I need to stick to it. I've found that drinking is the biggest thing and among drinking, beer is the bad one. Wine is OK but I tend to overindulge when drinking. So, cutting out drinking means less overindulging. And "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
